Description:
Sitagliptin 100mg is an oral antidiabetic medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the class of drugs called Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors. Sitagliptin works by increasing levels of incretin hormones, which stimulate insulin release from the pancreas in response to meals and reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver. This dual action helps maintain balanced blood sugar levels, particularly after eating, and can be used alone or in combination with other diabetes medications.
